How to get rid of Firefox-patch.js

About this ad-supported application

Firefox-patch.js advertisements are showing up on your screen because you have an advertising-supported program installed. Usually, an advertising-supported program is adjoined to some freeware as an additional offer so you may not even notice its installation. An advertising-supported program will be very obvious and ad-supported software identification shouldn’t be hard. You will see a large amount of adverts popping up randomly. Those adverts will come in all kinds of forms and may be pretty intrusive. It should also be mentioned that while an ad-supported program is not necessarily a harmful contamination, you could be redirected to some malware. You are suggested to uninstall Firefox-patch.js before you end up with malware.

What does Firefox-patch.js do?

You installed the ad-supported application, but you probably did not even realize. An adware comes as an added item to freeware, and this is called the bundling method. Before you hurry with program installation, there are a couple of things you need to remember. One, some sort of item could be added to the program, and if you use Default settings during its installation, you will unknowingly install that item as well. Second, you should pick Advanced (Custom) settings if you wish to be able to unmark all added offers. And if it is already installed, we suggest you to terminate Firefox-patch.js sooner rather than later.
